What are the painting methods of traditional Chinese painting landscapes?

First, the preparation before creation

(1) landscape painting techniques-partial modeling: suitable for beginners, unskilled in copying, and not exposed to real landscape painting. It is necessary to compare the two, imitation and writing. At this time, don't covet perfection.

(2) Landscape painting techniques-detailed recording method: recording a relatively complete "real" picture, suitable for beginners and proficient scholars. At this time, it is necessary to emphasize the truth of feelings rather than the "truth" on the surface of objects.

(3) Landscape painting techniques-remember differences: only write special things, suitable for less time or special feelings.

(4) Annotation (shorthand annotation) simply records an impression without detailed description.

(5) Landscape painting techniques-amplification method: selecting the emotional part, amplifying it, and performing more detailed performance, there will often be unexpected gains.

(6) Landscape painting techniques-drawing method: draw a general impression of the overall scenery more concisely, not seeking the shape, but seeking the "meaning".

(7) The technique of landscape painting-image superposition method: Don't shorthand a mountain and a water, but pay attention to the superimposed impression of Qian Shan's ten thousand waters and even the whole mountain and water. This is the so-called "Wan Li Road, thousands of books", mountains and valleys in the chest, wonderfully creating nature.

(8) Landscape painting techniques-repeated body odor method: This method is to linger on this mountain and this water, linger on it, and observe the body odor repeatedly, so that the landscape image is completely familiar to the chest, so that you can sit, sleep, eat and never forget. Shi Tao loves Huangshan Mountain, Mr. Pan Tianshou paints wild goose swings, and Mr. Huang loves watching night mountains, which is the samadhi of this method.

Second, landscape painting techniques

1, creative method

The problems mentioned above, such as pen and ink, composition and sketch, are all preparations for creation, and creation is the comprehensive application of all techniques. Since it is "creation", there is no fixed method and procedure. Because of their different accomplishments, endowments and hobbies, painters will adopt different ways and means in their creation, and there is no need to force unity. But what problems must be paid attention to in order to do a good job in creation? In this regard, predecessors have provided a lot of valuable experience, which is worthy of our inheritance and reference. Now choose the most important one and describe it briefly later.

2. Landscape painting techniques: the basic steps of composition.

The traditional "six methods" of Chuanbi talk about "business position", which is actually about the composition of painting layout, that is, composition. The so-called "position" in painting should be "managed" with heart, and painstakingly organized and arranged according to the structure and pattern of the object: when creating, we should pay attention to expressing the characteristics and charm of the object, be sure when putting pen to paper, grasp the characteristics of the object with a pen, and make the theme clear.

Draw the big feeling of the scene with ink lines first, and pay attention to the center of gravity when composing. First, ink dripped from the mountain. Generally speaking, the ink drops flowing from the pen are wet ink with shadows. Next, the dry pen is spread out, and the lines are from simple to complex, from sparse to dense; Finally, add some and rub it. Note that there are many changes when wiping. Use the central point, scattered front point and side front point to create the wilderness and nature on the outskirts of the mountain village. The theme is deepening and the picture is more colorful.

3. Landscape painting techniques: rock structure and painting method

Brush writing is one of the most basic techniques in the traditional "six methods". It is about writing with a brush, and it is also an important technique to express the shape of objects with "lines". Both strength and vigor are in the original intention, but it depends on the pen. Therefore, "bone" refers to the strength and change of "line" and is the "skeleton" of the whole painting.

The basic techniques of rock representation in Chinese painting are chiseling, kneading and rendering. The outline of the first stone and the uneven texture of the rock within the outline. The so-called ridge is the grain line of rock structure; Rubbing refers to rubbing irregular ink beside the outline of rock to increase the roughness of rock; Rendering is to dye the uneven yin and yang sides of the rock with thick and light ink to increase the texture and light and shade of the rock.

There are many traditional cutting methods of bone-breaking pen, such as horse, axe, folding, Dian, Yun Toucun, horse teeth, careless and so on. But in real life, the texture of rocks is varied, and the texture and style of rocks are also rich.

4. Watercolor techniques: rock structure

Painters of all ages have created performance schemes according to the geological structure and appearance of rocks. With the change of nature and the evolution of painting techniques, traditional painting methods have developed to today and become more realistic and modern.

Before the Tang Dynasty, the rocks in landscape paintings were all "empty". It was not until the Five Dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty that painters began to use painting methods. After long-term observation, experience and accumulation of natural rocks, predecessors finally summed up the modeling means to express the relationship between landscape texture, texture and solemnity. This is a great development of landscape painting. When we draw rock structures today, we should not only observe and sketch more realistically, but also inherit and develop traditional modeling skills.

5. Landscape painting techniques: tree painting techniques.

The ancients usually painted dead trees first, because the branches of dead trees were interspersed and the organizational structure was clear. However, our modern painters broke the stereotype by painting trees. We can draw some leaves first or point out the levels of trees and forests with ink first, and then draw trunks and branches.

Beginners should learn to draw the trunk first, then draw the trunk, and then write the twigs, so as to deepen step by step. After a certain period of sketching practice, they will naturally master the characteristics and laws of objects, and the lines can be concise. Painting comes from reality and is not limited by reality. It means learning in nature, and you have to digest it yourself before you can draw it at will.

Painting Chinese painting needs to go through three stages: copying, sketching and natural painting. Bian Xiao mainly talks about the sketch stage today. It is estimated that it will take at least 20 years or even 30 or 40 years to complete the three stages. At this point, you are a real painter. Every stage and step of Chinese landscape painting, even brushwork, ink painting and painting can be written separately. Here, only nine Niu Yi hairs are shared, and interested friends can further study them.
